Slartibartfast 153 Posted February 6, 2014 It does look interesting... I think the major question though is how much is it??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted February 6, 2014 a bit similar to the x-46\x-47? is it not? but it's still cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stratos 3,192 Posted February 6, 2014 If I understood correctly this is UAV controlled by a ground based human. But the X-47 is a "free" capable unmaned vahicle that will fly the mission on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,884 Posted February 6, 2014 Not up to speed on the X-47 - I've seen it land by itself on a carrier - but any weapons drops would have to have the usual UAV team of humans to authorize it first. Suspect its remote controlled with a limited autonomous type ability. Wonder if it can take evasive action by itself - execute evasive pattern delta 3 It does look interesting... I think the major question though is how much is it??? You thinking of buying one then - says they are small fighter jet size - might not fit in the garage :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted February 6, 2014 It's a test article, costs aren't relevant. A production version would certainly be different in many ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
